Walmart Parking Lots are the new frontier

Apparently you get enough humans in any one spot, make a resource scarce, and you'll get violence and savagery. That is pretty predictable. Was is interesting is that Walmart seems to bring this out of the American people.

Portion sizes and distorted perception

These kinds of articles are always interesting to me as they show just how pervasive advertising can become. We as a society get such mixed messages. It always eat less, be healthier, eat smarter.

They hire their workforce out as hourly consultants to do data entry, assembly line jobs and work that many would find tedious and repetitive.

Somebody has got to stop this

Jeasie Creasie People! This is absolutely absurd. No one should be profiting off the actions of pirates. These are real people they are terrorizing. Now the pirates have set up an investment coop.

I think anyone that invests with this should be considered part of the international criminal organization (which it is) and prosecuted as such.
